InstCombine: Turn (zext A) udiv (zext B) into (zext (A udiv B)). Same for urem or constant B.

This obviously helps a lot if the division would be turned into a libcall
(think i64 udiv on i386), but div is also one of the few remaining instructions
on modern CPUs that become more expensive when the bitwidth gets bigger.

This also helps register pressure on i386 when dividing chars, divb needs
two 8-bit parts of a 16 bit register as input where divl uses two registers.

int foo(unsigned char a) { return a/10; }
int bar(unsigned char a, unsigned char b) { return a/b; }

compiles into (x86_64)
_foo:
  imull $205, %edi, %eax
  shrl  $11, %eax
  ret
_bar:
  movzbl        %dil, %eax
  divb  %sil, %al
  movzbl        %al, %eax
  ret
